Kids Bunk Bed - A Great Way to Maximize Space
Bunk beds for kids are a great choice to save money and maximize space. Find beds with solid foundations and mattress supports to stop gaps or areas where children could become stuck or trapped.
Another consideration is how the bed is accessed: bunks usually feature ladders or stairs with angled ladders taking up less room than standard vertical ones.
Space-saving Design
Bunk beds are the ideal way to make the most of a tiny space. If you're looking to furnish an attic bedroom or the small space in your home, bunks for kids help you reduce floor space without losing any style or comfort. Most bunk beds come in twin over full or queen over twin configurations, so your children can share a bed while still having their own space. A three-person bunk bed is also an excellent option, especially when the bunk on the bottom will be used as a playroom or office during the daytime.
The majority of bunks have an attached ladder to the frame or a staircase that leads to the top bunk. To ensure safety it is recommended that the height of the ladder should not exceed 5 to 6 feet away from the ceiling. This is to prevent bumped heads and to ensure that the child sleeping on the top bunk isn't high.
You should consider a wooden bunkbed with stairs if you want your children's bedroom furniture to appear elegant. This not only provides an elegant touch to your kids' room, but it also offers ample storage space for each book, toy, and other knick-knack they may require to store away.
Some bunks can also be converted from a bed to a futon. This lets your children make use of the lower bed as an extra sofa during the day, and pull out the top futon at night for a comfortable place to sleep. This type of bunk bed is ideal when you have enough space and your kids are old enough to be able to handle the additional sleeping surface.
If you do not have the space to fit the traditional bunk bed, consider a corner bunk or loft. These beds are placed across the corner of your child's rooms, which leave the room for other kids' furniture such as shelves or dressers. Some bunk beds have an attached desk, which means that your children can complete their homework while in bed. This can help them stay focused and instil good habits for studying.
Easy Climbing Ladder
Bunk beds can be a great solution for children who prefer to sleep in separate rooms but do not have the space to have two separate rooms. Most of our beds come with an incline to make it easier for children to climb up the top bunk. This is more secure than climbing the sides of the bunk bed which could be dangerous. Children should only climb the top bunk when they are able to safely climb it. This is usually at least six years of age.
Many parents are attracted by the straight ladders on bunk beds, but we suggest angles to increase safety and convenience. These ladders provide a more comfortable climbing experience, and are also more comfortable to hold. To climb, kids put their feet on the rungs one at a time and then move upwards until they reach top bunk. Think about a ladder that comes with anti-slip grooves and handhole cutouts to allow children to grip the ladder as they climb.
If you're looking for a more permanent solution, we offer various styles of stairs that can be permanently attached to the frame of the bunk bed. The stairs are equipped with a railing that runs around the stairs to ensure safety. They also have a larger tread that prevents slipping and falling. For a more decorative look, you can choose an stairwell with built-in storage drawers, which are an excellent way to keep your children's rooms organized and neat.
A loft bed that doesn't have an attached ladder to the bottom bunk is another way to save space. This gives more space for kids to play in and sleep underneath. Many of these loft and bunk beds are designed to be reminiscent of a treehouse or some other amusing structure, making them a great choice for kids who love to spend time in the outdoors. Some of our loft and bunk beds also feature an optional slide to add a touch of fun.
Extra Storage
Many loft and bunk beds have additional storage options to ensure that children's rooms are tidy. These beds utilize vertical space to store clothes books, toys, and much more without taking up valuable floor space. These beds also work well in traditional and modern bedroom designs. Pottery Barn Kids has a numerous twin over full beds that can be adapted to the room of your child and their needs.
